Digi Store Saturday with Natalie May

Hi there

It's my turn to share a project inspired by the March Mood Board over at Lindy's Stamp Gang and I used the Main kit for this month plus some fab cut files from APOCD!.

I have scrapped a family photo taken a little while ago. 

I love this photo of us ... my immediate family is everything to me and this photo really does make my heart swell.

I have used some cut files from A Piece Of Cake Designs - I love using these for embellishments on my page ... cutting them in white cardstock allows me to color them to suit.

Here are a few of the easy steps I used to create this page.

By adding the embossing powder to the paste, when I heat set it, the beautiful shimmer came through.

  

This is such a simple but effective technique!

Thanks for stopping by

Have a great day

I love that there is so much that can be created with the Cupcake kit - I have all sorts of sized scraps still floating around from last month so I whipped up this page featuring Miss Jessica and my hubby!

 

 I simply used strips and cuts of paper and collated them on the side before stitching around the edges!

 I used a digi cut from the February release and backed it with one of the 6x6 papers and added a Cherry Flair with cotton wrapped around it.

Have a great day

Thoughtful Thursday .... Natalie May

 I still have a few papers left from my January Cupcake kit so thought I'd make a few easy cards.

These first two are simple shaker box cards using the sequins from the 

kit with the gorgeous Polaroid frames ... so easy and so effective!

And this card is using the woodgrain clips included in the kit with the super cool papers - I love that this is a unisex card - I'm sure it will come in handy!

So there you have it .... simple ... easy and using my scraps!

 Oh My Giddy Aunt .... Have you seen the NEW February Cut files over in the shop?

I am soooo IN LOVE with all of them ... in fact ... I have been cutting up a storm in the last 24 hours and be prepared to be flooded with these great files over the next month.

They are soooo versatile and will go PERFECTLY on just about everything I'm thinking.

 

So to start with, I used the NEW February Main Kit that has just gone live 

to create this quick page of Miss Louise and Myself!

Lou and I have been "scrappy besties" for over 7 years and I think 

she's all kinds of awesome so this cut file was right on the money!

I used the cardstock from the kit and the spot paper plus a few of the gold die cuts 

from the Crate Paper Ephemera Pack!

I added in some sequins from my personal stash and a little stitching around the edges!

Simple and effective!

Messy Monday with Natalie ...

 How was your weekend?

It's HOT here in Adelaide and we have a few more HOT days coming up too ....I'm not a fan of hot weather ... actually I hate it... but there could be worse things!

So today I'm sharing a page I created with the January Cupcake Kit!

I have forgotten how much I love working with Gelatos!

There are TWO double scoops in the kit - awesome!

For this page, I used them as watercolours by rubbing them onto my craft mat 

first then using a paint brush to apply them to my page.

I then stamped with them by making a puddle of colour on my mat

then stamping into it then straight onto my page. 

I love the way it creates a softer look.

So I hope you are all staying cool - where ever you are!

Have a great day

Natalie May
